FIVE PAIN IN THE ASS THINGS YOU HAVE TO DO SECOND
This podcast is for the new practitioner, student or someone transitioning from contractor to business owner. In this episode I dish up your second serving of , “open a clinic pie”. Yep! A spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down! There is absolutely NO WAY you can avoid this dish. This acupuncture practice stuff requires a special balance. Here we are working on Yin within Yang. This episode is all about the things within the business that make it turn.
YOU’LL LEARN
- I launch with special thanks to my support team and all of the 2020 podcast celebrities on my show.
- Here is the link for the Qiological podcast. You are going to love it!
- Here are the next 5 things to do: BUT WAIT! If you haven’t listened to episode 013 do that first.
- 1.) Get Malpractice Insurance
- 2.) Choose an EHR
- JaneAPP
- AcuSimple
- Unified Practice
- Or you can be old fashioned and use paper. Just be sure to understand the HIPAA regulations regarding the safekeeping of those files.
- Check out GoogleWorkspace. (*Affiliate Link) You are going to need a HIPAA compliant email address anyway. Keeping records here may be a good way to start if you can figure out how to sign the documents.
- 3.) Set up your Books (options)
- Hire a bookkeeper to keep your books OR hire a bookkeeper to set them up and teach you how to do the things.
- In episode 012, Travis Kearn suggests you learn how to set your books up with Hector Garcia CPA on youtube to learn the ropes. I agree.
- Then you can check out the online bookkeeping on GoDaddy. Or Check out QuickBooks if you need a bookkeeping system on steroids.
- 4.) Hire an Accountant
- Ask other Acupuncturists who are similar to you who they use. A word of mouth referral is going to yield the best possible outcome.
- Go for a consultation. Is their office organized? Are they timely? Good Shen? (LOL)
- If you are confused at all, walk away. They should be able to explain everything clearly and have a nice little “to do” schedule for you.
- 5.) Pick a Domain Name
- I like Hover. Or you could go with GoDaddy here, just don’t choose GoDaddy for both your website and your domain name.
